ha't per cent. Rind under the c )nsideratOn of ti e House. • • • Mr., LONG complained of the constant personali ties of the Hon. Gentleman, and vindicated his own conduct, and that of Government. .Mr. BROUGH AM _wished to call the attention of the House_to that from which they had'Aigressed, the motion-of his Right Hon.. Friend. 'He wondered hii propositiOn could'be viewed in soodious a light., The address proposed would, in point of form, bean Address to the Crown-, -but in point of fa6t,. an ad dress to his Majesty's Ministers. The slender ma. jority by which the question was formerly carried by the Chancellor of the Exchequer afforded-no g oands fr.r exultation, - or for confidence. If there were a fund from which the Duke-of Byunswick's pension could be paid without burthening the,pub. lie, from that. fund, it ought . to be paid. He then proceeded to controvert .the statements made with 'respeti to the Civil List, which, he contended, was in ;etre& sufficiently augmented by • various aids -to counter-balance the effe& of the depreciation of the value of money. Under all the circumstances, he th2ught the annuity ought to be paid out Of the Droits of Admiralty. . Mr. STEPHEN disapproved of the Address, and thought if the Duke of Brunswick's case - had .never _been brou'ght forward, an Addi.ess - of - that nature might have been voted With equal propriety, and for a greater sum. The .proposed.' Address went too ' far, or, it did not go far enough, . If the arguments urged by Gentlemen opposite were good, if they ought to address his Majesty for 70,0001. which it. had been said was sufficient to purchase an annuity .for the Duke of Brunswick, they ought not to ask "Merely 70,0001.' but 40(1,0001. A fund of 400,0001. was, in his opinion, not sufficient to secure British captors from the yaost cruel inconveniences. The fund, he contended, was not increasing, nor was it likely to increase. Far from being larger than it had been, the balance was Smaller than it had been at any time in the course of the last seventeen years. _ . Mr. WIIITBREAD strongly supported the motion. It had been said the Droits of the . Admiralty were dangerous-, as in bad times the nation might be pre cipitated into a War by ,the avarice of the Sovereign. How much more dangerous were those Droits [dale by the present system applied -,to purposes like those for which it appeared they were to he reserved,-the. evils likely thence' to arise were much increased in -nuniber and magnitude. Zr. TIERNEY, in xeply, went over the same grounds; and from what had come out in the course of debate, would not leave any part of the Droits of the -Admiralty in the power of the Crown, except what was necessary for naval purposes. For the motion . . . . 75 Against it • . ..... .• . . tot ' Majority - against the motion 26 When the Opposition was in the lobby, Mr. PON SPNBY addressed the Gentlemen, and requested their ;attendance to=morrow (this day), when Mr. Banke's motion, would certainly be brought forward.

HORRID ..21i7:4111PT., This morning, about three - O'clock, an Italian Valet, who had lived for near twenty years with the Duke of CUMBERLAND, secreted himself in the bed-room at-St. James's Palace, and when .he had reason to believe that the . Duke was asleep, plat out the lamp, took down the sabre which was hanging over the chituney-'piece, and attacked his Royal Highness with the, most furious impetuosity. For- tunately the . Duke; had on a. very thick wadded nightcap, which in • some degree deadened the blow, bvt he received a very severe wound over the • forehead, and one of a more dreadful kind on his shoulder. The Duke immediately sprung out of bed, and struggled with the assassin, who being much weaker than himself, he easily subdued, and wrested the sabre from his grasp. The Duke, from the snddm violence of the attack, and the loss of blood, had hardly. power to ring - the . bell for as- sigance. The man, finding his purpose had -fail ed, retired into his own chai - nber immediately,where he cut his thro•at with a razor, and died soon alter: Mr. HOME, the Surgeon, was procured with ail pos. sible dispatch.- He partiCtilarly examined the bead, and has declared that -there is no ftaeture. The other wounds he pronounces to be very dangerous, but not of a mortal nature. It is supposed that the man who committed this desperatCaa was suddenly seized with a fit of insanity. He had, it is said, in • the course of the day, had a dispute with some of the Pages, and probably not finding that counte nance from his Royal Masterw‘hich he expected, his vindiaive temper was kindled into the fury of mad- nes, While we regret thi'l melancholy event, we yet rejoice that the consequences have not been s 6 fatal as might have been expeeled, considering the situa- Lion of his Royal Highness, suddenly awakened in so dreadful a•manner, and without.light to see his' asasssin : it is no slight degree of satisfadion to re- no that English servants are hardly ever guilty of such at?ocious attempts. Some accauuts which, ,however, we do not cre- dit, impute this unhappy event to jealousy on the part of the man. He had been missed, it seems, from four o'clook in the afternoon, and of course he hact 7 with savage deliberation, waited Ibt tl - k e opportunity. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Since writing the above we have learned, that his Royal Highness is wonuded in seven different places, but we are .happy to find that they are not considered as very dangerous. So great was the confidence which his Royal Highness placed in the ruffian who attacked him, that dining the conflict in•the dark, the Thrice re peatedly called upon this }"Telir man by his name, to come to his assistance, supposing he was in bed in an adjoining chamber.. . His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, and all the other branches of the Royal Family that were in town,- immediately repaired to the Palace to inquire •into the state of his Royal Highness's health. In- deed the Stable Yard has been crowded the whole of the morning. • A Coroner's IngLicst was summoned to sit upon the body of the wretched man who made this atro- cious , attempt, but-they had not concluded their in- vestigation* when this paper was ' put to press. Two o'CLocK.--We have just .learnt, that his Royal Highness is not considered as beingyin dan ger, but he' suffers considerable , pain from 'his wounds, and has some degree of fever. [The following is the Bulletin at the Palace.] The - wounds are aot immediately dangerous, and his Royal 1-lighness" is as well as. can be e?cpedecUunder the cir curr6tances of the case." Ills Royal Highness, we understand, has seven wounds, and has nearly lost one of his fingers. The avenues to the Palace, wherever carriages can pass, have been covered with straw, to prevent all annoyance:of that nature. The following is the Bulletin .respeEling Mr. WINDHAM'S health this morning : Mr. WiNnnAm has had a restless night, but is not in ny respect worse this morning." FRENCH AND bUTC II PAPERS. - ULM, MARCH 16.—Our town for some time last has assumed a more agreeable prospea, and is now scarcely recognizable.

In one instance he was oberved distriOnthsrg a printed song, of which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL read only the last stanza. This obnoxious stanza was, as nearly as we could collect it, as follows r . 4 Now sound your Bugle horns, my lands, Your catcalls whistle all, And boldly for your British rights, Like noble Britons call.
